Next Sony console not called Playstation.

That's the only reason I can think of.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Is this Kaz Hirai's doing?

They're merging all their media outlet into one. Music, Movie, Games are under one banner, so it doesn't make sense to call it PlayStation any more since all their devices will use the SEN account.

 

[chubigans]

Why is this happening.

So there can be one universal account across all Sony products. About time.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Sony Entertainment System

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Get ready for the new space in Home called SEN City.

we need a new bootup for console. something very cool sounding.

 

[vazel]

First they take the Gameboy brand away from us now it's going to be Playstation. Phooey!

 

[kyubajin]

i cant wait to log into sen's fortress

Lol my thought exactly.

 

[Apath]

And to celebrate this announcement, Sony has announced a one-time offer for current PSN users to change their PSN ID?

I expected this when they started letting you manage your PSN at this website.

http://www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/main

I like how you can download PSP games you own directly from the website.

if you give them a one time fee.

 

[fernoca]

Sony Entertainment System

Sony Entertainment Station.

 

[Infinite Justice]

So will the superior account management site be the default now?

 

[Carl]

As much as I don't care for the xbox brand, I really like the fact that they use an actual word like "Live" instead of all these letters and whatnot.

Is "Network" not a word?

 

[NIN90]

lol I would not be surprised if a new clause was in.

No Fat Chicks

 

[dallow_bg]

Should have gone with QEN.

Everybody loves Quriocity right?

 

[Orca]

Consolidating all their services at long last, from the sounds of it. Not a bad idea, if they've made sure all those services have their security flaw patching up to date.

 

[Deepo]

All of my money if you let me change my account handle amid this.

All of my money as well.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

about time they start unifying all the shit they have.

 

[Kinyou]

That's already a Microsoft trademark

But Microsofts service costs $ 60 per year. Sony could give free SEX to everyone

 

[jett]

Sony piggybacking on dat playstation

 

[sixteen-bit]

i cant wait to log into sen's fortress

Nice.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

10 free Sony movie downloads for every customer. Leveraging the brand.

 

[Dueck]

Sen is not pleased

Somebody's got a rapist wit!

...

I can't believe they are renaming it. I think it may hinder the brand recognition.

 

[madmaxx350]

.


nvm

 

[Carl]

On February 8, 2012, your “PlayStation®Network account” will be renamed a “Sony Entertainment Network account” or a “SEN account” in conjunction with Sony Computer Entertainment’s PlayStation®3 system software and PlayStation®Vita system software updates

Can't wait for a new firmware next week!

 

[GhostWriter24]

SEN sounds way better than PEE-ESS-EN. Easier to say/remember.

 

[Orca]

Is this Kaz Hirai's doing?

Kaz doesn't ascend to the throne until April.

 

[Wario64]

 

[MikeE21286]

Ahh shit... I hate it

 

[Emitan]

Kaz doesn't ascend to the throne until April.

Not like he can't start doing stuff now, he's effectively in charge once they decided.

 

[madmaxx350]

wut?!!

 

[Andrefpvs]

Most exciting part is the new firmware updates! Can't wait to be disappointed again!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

 

[Orca]

Not like he can't start doing stuff now, he's effectively in charge once they decided.

That was two days ago, it's a little early to have rolled out something large - especially given how slow Sony's many wings have been at flapping together in the past.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

wut?!!

shane bettenhauSEN

 

[abstract alien]

.....

 

[MikeE21286]

^mindblown.

As it was prophesied...

 

[Infinite Justice]

Cross game chat please!!!!






Plus is PSN+ gonna change to SEN+ as well?

 

[patsu]

I think he's in charge of SEN for more than a year now.

 

[Emitan]

It was announced two days ago and heavily rumored before. We don't really know how long he was decided to be the new CEO.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

I think we're in for a wild ride.

 

[ArisenDragon]

Interesting doesn't matter if they change the name I guess there doing it to bring the ps3 and vita into one group or something.

[LiK]

Dumb

 

[Carl]

Doing it to integrate the PSN platform more. Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited both use PSN but they call it SEN. SEN has also been running PSN for quite some time. This is just finishing the transition off.

 

[Vire]

Uhhhh k?

Seems a bit strange to change it this late the game.

Not a fan of the way the acronym sounds either. Whatever...

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Plus is PSN+ gonna change to SEN+ as well?

lol Probably will and that looks/sounds bad.

 

[graywolf323]

Should have gone directly for SEX

or SIN
